VIKINGS HORNS – GASLAMP DISTRICT
Last year’s successful Vikings drinking horn program returns, giving thousands of horn-shaped beer vessels to eager and thirsty fans.
• Select local bars will offer special drink discounts for horn-holders
• Vikings Brand Ambassadors and Shield Maidens will distribute the horns throughout the Gaslamp District

VIKINGS LONGSHIP – DOWNTOWN / GASLAMP DISTRICT Let fans conquer San Diego aboard a Vikings Longship, driving through Downtown, Gaslamp Quarter and sailing the harbor.
• Custom fabrication and boat wrap will transform a popular San Diego “Seal Boat” into a Vikings Longship
• The boat will offer fans free stops to select Gaslamp locations, with fans receiving a Vikings Drinking Horn at the conclusion of the ride. Exact stops TBA.
• Select fans will also have a chance to win a sunset cruise aboard the Longship with the cast of Vikings.
